An inspiration, she prided herself on her nursing career, particularly as head charge nurse at UMASS Trauma Dept. She was a loving wife to William Lyon, deceased 1993, enjoying their family life and hosting parties with friends. She also enjoyed socializing with the Ladies of the Red Hat Society when she retired in Florida.
